Quoted from MK6PIN:Jady's killer snackbar mod w pink el...Very, very nice!!!

Where'd you buy this beautiful mod?
Picking up mine next friday. I'm really excited, loving this fine machine, it's on the top of my list (just below twilight zone).
Well, I picked up mine. It's a player's pin which smell like a cigarette factory. But it will be a perfect start for a shopjob. Cabinet is good with minimal fading, only the front decal needs to be replaced. Playfield is good, snackbar scoop with minimal wear. The "FILM" has some wear but if I airbrush the blacks it's all good in that area. Ramps are worn but usable and will be replaced. Plastics are okay but will be replaced.
Short term list:
- LED's (did 90% already)
- Rubbers (standard treatment)
- Scoop protectors
- new starposts
- trough lighting
- flipper button light-a-matics (TM) 
- popbumpers lighting (why doesn't this have been done by Bally is a mistery to me)
- renew popbumpers, flippers and flipperassemblies
- button battery (done)
- PDI glass (done)
- SmartDMD (green)
- mirror blades
Long term list: (machine will be restored)
- clearcoat and touchup the playfield
- new ramps
- new plastics
- cabinet decals
- better speakers
- new legs
- new siderails

Quoted from gac:Hi All - My Creech has the Mike D mod. I've had it for several years but when I powered it up this morning, the mod won't boot. When I first turned the machine on, I saw the "Please Wait" message flash on the TV screen (which is normal) but then a few seconds later there is just several lines of computer jargon that stays on the screen (see the pic attached). That's all that happens. Does the SD card need to be reformatted (not that I know how to do that) or ? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Don't know how to contact Mike but I just wanted to share some thoughts. Whenever you got a working image on your SD / or uSD card make a backup from that! Use w32image to create a dump from your SD card and save that on your computer. Hell, dump that image on another SD card and check if it is working.
2nd issue I found last month. I am using SmartDMD for my CFTBL as alternative display. Had a lot of issues with a lot of kernel panics and unmountable volumes. Whenever I used a fresh image it would boot fine but sometimes just after one time switching off and on the machine the SD card became unusable until I reimaged it. Sometimes 2 or 3 powercycles but eventually the card became unreadable until reimaging. After a lot of testing, cursing, and some more testing I found that the new faster SD cards were the culprit. When using old cards (up to the 6* speed rating) it works like a charm. The newer 10 speed are not usable in that particular RPI / uSD / SmartDMD combo.
This will of course not mean that this is applicable in your case, just wanted to share.
